The striker, who shone in the competition for Sampaio Corrêa, has five goals in the last six games. Tiger fights at the top
The same story that Gabriel Poveda wrote with recent goals Sampaio CorrêaThis year he hopes to repeat with Vila Nova shirt. But this time, with a point in the elite of Brazilian football. In 2022, nobody shook the network more than he in Serie B, but Maranhão’s team did not go up. With great performances by the attacker at this start of the competition, the Tiger already fights at the top.

In fact, in the last six games of the team, Poveda has participated in five goals, with three balls on the net and two assists. His best season was just three years ago, when he scored 26 goals in 52 games for Bolivia.
“I am very happy with the moment I live, the best with Vila’s shirt since I arrived. Especially in a competition that I have a huge affection. In this way, to start, mark goals and help the team with assist, it is very important for the trust and for the games we face.
Poveda says that access to Brazilirão’s elite is a priority
Poveda himself, one of Vila’s reinforcements for this season, recalls that the club has approached a lot in the last years of returning to Serie A of Brazilians. In 2023, for example, only three points of the G4 ended in eighth place. Last year, the ninth place. In his 81 years of history, Vila Nova was only in the first division seven times: 1977, 1978, 1979, 1981, 1981, 1983 and 1985. If it depends on the attacker and the current cast, the time has come.
“Our great goal is Serie A. Vila is a club that has hit the post in recent years, it has invested a lot in the training center, gives an excellent condition for athletes and has modernized more and more. Today I don’t think it loses the structure for any competition club and, perhaps, we have the best work tools to reach this access. So we are very focused, so the best can happen.”
Vila Nova wins the Goiano after 19 years of fasting
He underlines that the goal of the beginning of the year was the achievement of the Goiano championship. Objective achieved after 19 years of fasting.
